Actually if factor is equal to total number of nodes with SimpleStrategy one copy will be placed on each node.Does LOCAL_ONE know to choose local (the same) node with SimpleStrategy?

Reads for all other users, including superusers, are done at LOCAL_ONE [1] http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/operating/security.html#authentication On Sun, Apr 2, 2017 at 7:07 AM, Jeff Jirsa <jji...@apache.org> wrote: > You should use a network topology strategy with high RF in each DC There's some debate here - some blogs/speakers will say to put a replica on each instance, but that falls down above a few dozen instances. Imagine if you have (for example) 200 instances per DC, auth logins for super users is 101 replicas serving the read - that's a really slow login that's likely to fail (think about thread pools on the coordinator doing the read response handling, it's an ugly ugly mess). Normal logins do use LOCAL_ONE though so if there are lots of replicas, auth will be faster - so use 5-10 replicas per DC, and crank up the caching timeouts as well
